Mountain View had to start their season on the road on Tuesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 77-65 to the American Heritage Patriots. The matchup was a 38-38 toss-up at halftime, but the Bruins couldn't quite close it out.
Mountain View's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Kevin Lewis, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 15 rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Lewis a new career-high in assists (four). Jake Goodman was another key player, going 7 for 10 en route to 17 points.
Even though they lost, Mountain View smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in 26 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Mountain View wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 69-65 win against Cedar on the 22nd. American Heritage has also already played their next match, a 78-76 defeat against Crimson Cliffs on the 22nd.
